Hull City investigate video allegedly showing captain Lewie Coyle in confrontation
Hull City have launched an investigation after a video emerged allegedly showing captain Lewie Coyle involved in a confrontation in the city centre. The club said it was looking into an "incident" after being made aware of the video circulating on social media on Sunday. The footage appears to show Coyle, 29, topless and being ushered across a road. His brother Rocco, 18, who plays for the Tigers' academy, appears to be in the video. Coyle, 29, played in Hull's last game of the season - a 1-1 draw at Portsmouth - the previous day, as Hull avoided relegation from the Championship. The club said in a statement it would "refrain from making any further comment until the investigation has been concluded". The announcement came as Coyle's older brother, ex-professional boxer Tommy Coyle, 35, said he was the victim of a "vicious, unprovoked assault" in the city centre. A separate video circulating on social media allegedly showed Tommy Coyle being attacked in a pub on Sunday. In a statement on Tuesday he said: "It is very sad that I cannot share an evening out with my brothers without attracting this sort of attention. "I spent the day in hospital yesterday being checked over and fortunately there is no lasting damage." Humberside Police said a 39-year-old man had been charged with public disorder following reports of an "altercation" in the Empress pub on Sunday.
